"Baby Gator" made in high school ceramics. Won a gold award at the Scholastic Art and Writing Show at Columbus College of Art and Design. The dean actually told my art teacher it was one of his favorite pieces of the show as well. [2009]

Got my grandma in the gift exchange for Christmas of 2013, though there was absolutely nothing she wanted. I decided to make a painting of this very famous prayer from her patron saint, Saint Francis of Assissi. While not very religious myself, she adored it and instantly began reciting the prayer to me without looking. She told me it was the best gift I could have given her.
